Hmmmm good times, I just broke the brand new spanner wrench I bought to remove the packing nut around the shaft seal.
So, I've read this thread 10xs and especially the right up on which way is loosey goosey, and the article says wrenches go together to loosen.... Well I cracked the spanner wrench, and the nut has had 3 GOOD PB blaster bathes... What am I doing wrong.
Yes a PSS no drip seal is looking good right now, but I'm trying to do this repack without removing the VDrive.

Is it possible, that the wrench direction is to loosen is to counterclockwise the nut off the shaft? That seems more logical, as the threads on the piece would be normal.
Otherwise the threads are backwards. Anyone enlighten me here??
